A single, continuous, static wide shot of a classic theater stage with heavy dark red velvet curtains closed. The stage is dark. A single, powerful circular follow spotlight from above turns on, illuminating the center of the curtains. The spotlight beam then dramatically SWEEPS from left to right across the curtain, pauses, and returns to settle firmly on the center.
After a beat, FROM DIRECTLY BEHIND THE SPOTLIT CENTER of the curtain, a hand (wearing a dark green sleeve with gold trim) pushes THROUGH THE FABRIC from the back. The hand emerges fully into the light, holding a large, gleaming golden Christmas bell with a red bow.
The hand pauses for a moment, then executes a SINGLE, DEFINITIVE DOWNWARD SHAKE of the wrist, causing the bell to ring. The sound wave is visible in slow motion as the bell vibrates. The scene freezes.
Cinematic, 8K, shot on 35mm film, deep focus, no cut, single take. The entire sequence is logical and continuous.
